I'm foreign! This means I know longer have to get up at 4:00 a.m. to watch the games! It is now 5!

europe switches a week earlier, so like GOW I now have to wait till 2.30 or something like that for MNF.
At least the Irish game last night started an hour 'earlier' resulting in me only stayin up till about 4

Gotta love that. Sadly, it will now get dark at like 6pm and be utterly depressing. What a stupid thing, can't we just stick to the "spring forward" time and have more sunlight later in the day? ******* Ben Franklin...

Can't we just either spring forward a half hour or fall back a half hour and have it be done with?

We could and I'm sure most normal folks would go for that. The problem is that there are a lot of powerful industry/lobbying groups that don't want to see that happen.

Think about it: Companies that run Convenience stores, the Golf Industry, the Candy industry-they all have something to gain from DST. Their successful lobbying in Washington is the reason DST starts earlier and ends later now. They're the main reason you lose sleep in spring. It puts a lot of money in their hands.
